B.A.B Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Wow,those look nothing like Euro Fighter trains. I like them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterLover Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 For those interested SFOG appears to be currently running several cars through test runs on Dare Devil Dive and it can all be seen on the webcam... http://www.sixflags.com/overGeorgia/footerNav/daredevildiveconstruction.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillrider Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 A little off topic, but does anyone have a picture of the inside of the restaurant that you sat in a car to eat? I believe the restaurant is no longer there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willh51 Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 It is indeed testing like mad right now. I was surprised and only wish the quality was better. There's at least four or five cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottBrown Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Im surprised they don't have the "V" shape to them like the other newer euro fighters I imagine that slows the loading times slightly though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenbowl Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Go two pages back. The trains do have the V-shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottBrown Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 The view of the front of the car makes it look much less pronounced than the other ones are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midgetman82 Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I kinda surprised that nobody has yet to go out to the park to videotape it testing and then post it to YouTube or CoasterTube. It is currently testing like mad right now from the looks of the live cam on Six Flags' website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterfreak80 Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I kinda surprised that nobody has yet to go out to the park to videotape it testing and then post it to YouTube or CoasterTube. It is currently testing like mad right now from the looks of the live cam on Six Flags' website. Thanks to an "Andrew Roberts", someone DID post it to Facebook and to Youtube today. It's very interesting that it doesn't "pause" over the crest. Perhaps they are still working on that feature during testing. It's very quiet too. Thanks Andrew if you're on TPR too!

6flagsbrad Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 That car looks like a space shuttle, it looks very awkward to watch it go around. But great to see them testing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbear30 Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Was at the park yesterday and got some pics of it testing. They were running the white train empty and it was crawling through the course. They were running the black train full of water dummies and it was going much faster. No, it wasn't flying through the course but I think once the trains get worn in and heat up and the train is full of people then I am sure they will haul. It was really cool to watch it test. They just kept running them over and over the whole day. As Scott said before me, there is not much of a pause at the top, it just crawls over and then is released pretty quickly. Can't wait for media day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
typhoon200 Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Seems a lot slower than Anubis The Ride in Plopsaland Belgium (same layout, but launched!) I'ts a great Layout, but it needs the speed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you should check out RCDB.com for a speed comparison here. Per RCDB, Dare Devil Dive's drop is at 52 mph whereas Anubis' launch is 55.9 mph. That's not much of a difference; clearly it has the "speed" aspect covered. We are just thankful that our park is getting something new this year; we have no concern that it's 3 mph slower than Anubis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if the speed aspect is covered, the ride will be amazing So you may be verry thankful indeed! Gerstlauer is a great coasterbuilder! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkTrips Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 never judge a ride based on testing videos. Sure, it looks slow, but I would bet that they are still tweaking a lot of things (lift speed, brakes, wheels, etc). Besides, I'd rather it be too slow, than to be fast and beat you to death like Huracan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xlr8 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Its great that Gerstlauer can now build all these manoevers with lapbar-only cars. I guess the ride still needs time to gain speed. It seems to run on very soft wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angryemobeaver Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 (edited) Posted on SFOG's facebook From the looks of these photos, SFOG has done a terrific job with Dare Devil Dive! Fits right in with their great collection of coasters! I'm extremely excited to come back to my favorite Six Flags park this year! 95º drop An immelman Flames on the bottom of the first drop Third and final inversion Looking straight down the vertical lift hill Edited May 18, 2011 by robbalvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
